I feel much the same, there are too many sorting options sometimes.
However, I don’t understand why big almighty google can’t just add a few simple things to make Tasks waaaay better, such as an option to see all content from all lists in one place (user have to go list by list).

Personally I prefer to just choose less fields in Toodledo/Pocket Informant, than to be limited by google tasks. But again I agree with the general way of thinking.

Perhaps Gqueues will be the right fit for you? (I didn’t choose it cause I wanted the evernote integration of Pocket Informant)
